Baby, do you understand me now?
Sometimes I feel a little mad
But don't you know that no-one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Baby, sometimes I'm so carefree
With a joy that's hard to hide
And sometimes it seems that all I have to do is worry
And then you're bound to see my other side
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never mean to take it out on you
Life has its problems and I get my share
And that's one thing I never mean to do
'Cause I love you
Oh, oh, oh, baby, don't you know I'm human
I have thoughts like any other one
Sometimes I find myself, Lord, regretting
Some foolish thing, some little simple thing I've done
I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh, Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood
Yes, I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
